Today we celebrated a milestone: our 200th episode!
We shared our favorite memories over the past ~120 hours of #content, discussed some of our Hopes and Dreams for the future of the show, and we did it all under the shroud of a global pandemic that threatens our way of life!
We closed with some kind (?) words of congratulations on 200 episodes from friends of the show.
Thanks to everyone who has listened over the years. We love you and we love Charlotte.
